Crime Spree in Bamberg: Stolen Goods, Traffic Accidents, and More

Bamberg Stadt:

At around 9:44 p.m. on Saturday evening, a grocery store was broken into in the east of Bamberg. Two suspects pried open the front door, gained access and stole tobacco products by the shopping bag. The two 25-year-old and 31-year-old suspects were initially able to flee the scene of the crime, but were caught and arrested as part of the manhunt. The stolen goods were found and secured. During the arrest, one of the two men resisted the officers and tried to punch one of the officers in the face. Both men were arrested and, at the request of the public prosecutor, are brought before an investigating judge with the aim of obtaining an arrest warrant.

The theft damage amounts to approx. 3000 euros, the estimated property damage is at least 3500 euros.

On Saturday morning, at around 9:00 a.m., there was a traffic accident escape in the Kaufland car park on Forchheimer Straße. Here a 77-year-old cyclist touched a white car and fell. A previously unknown driver would then have taken care of the old lady. The damaged vehicle could not be found when the accident was recorded. Witnesses, the car driver who is helping and the injured party are asked to contact the Bamberg city police station on tel. no. 0951/9129-210 to report.

At around 10:35 a.m. on Saturday morning, a Bamberg radio patrol on Starkenfeldstraße noticed an electric scooter that was driving without a license plate. The 14-year-old driver was stopped and stopped driving. There was no insurance for the e-scooter, and a speed report should now determine the actual maximum speed, since the young man was apparently traveling faster than the 20 km/h permitted for e-scooters and the vehicle would therefore require a driving license. An investigation into driving without insurance and suspected driving without a valid driver’s license was initiated.

Bamberg Land:

HIRSCHAID: In the early hours of Sunday morning, a VW Golf left the road at the roundabout on Maximilianstrasse and landed in a ditch. The three vehicle occupants aged between 20 and 26 were under the influence of alcohol and no one could show a driver’s license. After it was initially unclear who the actual driver was, the public prosecutor ordered blood samples to be taken from everyone. Furthermore, their clothing and the vehicle were seized to clarify whether they were the drivers. After personal identification, interrogation and identification, the three Polish nationals were released. As was further determined, the three are also suspects in stealing alcoholic beverages from a gas station in the city of Bamberg shortly before the accident. The material damage to the vehicle, which apparently had no insurance or registration, is estimated at around EUR 1,000.

BREITENGÜSSBACH: In a supermarket in the commercial park, an unknown person tried to steal several packs of tobacco worth over 50 euros on Saturday afternoon. The perpetrator was observed and then fled in an orange Audi A2, leaving the stolen goods behind. As part of the search, the vehicle sought was found abandoned in the industrial area and locked. Since it obviously contained further stolen property and the perpetrator’s clothing, this was secured after consultation with the public prosecutor’s office. In the further course of the search, a Georgian was caught as a possible perpetrator. The suspect had other potential stolen goods (five e-cigarettes) in his pocket, which were also secured. The 25-year-old was released after personal identification and identification treatment.
